EPILOGUE

September 23rd, 2014

A small university classroom, with dozens of students, looks on as the guest speaker spins his tale of wild experiences…

“So, as I stood there, in complete shock at what the secret revealed, Stargazer and his associates watched with glee at the revelation…”

“Well, what was the secret?” asked a student.

“I can’t tell you,” the guy said, “you have to earn the right to know what the secret is. Now, let me tell you about how just a short while later Cinema helped me stop the Y2K Virus from ruining the world…”

“Oh, come on!” shouted a student in the front row, “You can’t possibly expect us to believe all this? Professor, how dare you let some guy come in here and spit all this crap at us?”

A small ruckus permeated through the ranks of the classroom.

“Now, now everyone,” said Professor Bao, “I can personally attest to many of these claims. I invited our guest here to give you a special insight that most classes could never hope to be privy to.”

“Well, I’m not buying it,” said the overly privileged smug student, “How do we even know he’s who he claims he is? He hasn’t even given us a name!”

More commotion rambled through the audience. Before the professor or the guest speaker could even say another word to try and gain the attention of the lecture hall back, a door opened in the back corner of the room. In came a frantic girl in a black and red tutu with matching pigtails and a Kalishnakov rifle slung over her shoulder.

“Cinema! What are you doing here?” asked the speaker.

“No time to explain,” she urged, “I just got word from the Mars outpost in my Beta Lane.

The Nazi’s may have found the gate to Hyperborea!”

“They have?! What year?!” the speaker enthusiastically inquired.

“2259! King Tet the second’s forces are trying to stop them, but they need our help!” the girl exclaimed.

Abruptly, the two mysterious individuals darted for the door together while typing commands on the strange bracers they wore. But before they left, the guest speaker made one final comment…

“You’re right, you don’t know if I’m who I claim to be. I’m just some guy.”
